The EHX Pico Shimmer serves as a supersonic voyager to the shimmering, radiant frontiers of ambience, drawing its ethereal inspiration from distant galactic formations and celestial structures that exist beyond this world. As a compact evolution of the Shimmer concepts found in our award-winning Oceans Reverb series, this pedal turns your instrument into a machine capable of crafting immersive soundscapes. By integrating synthesis, delay, modulation, and reverb, the device unlocks entirely new realms of spatial experimentation. Users can choose from three distinct shimmer reverb scenes: the mellow Off-World, the glitchy Etherdust, and the quintessential Intergalactic.

• INTERGALACTIC: a classic shimmer made up of polyphonic octaves, reverb, modulated delay and compression with the addition of a string synthesis engine. Morph between plate reverb, classic shimmer, and ethereal strings to create cinematic atmospheres beyond time and space.
• OFF-WORLD: a smoother, mellower shimmer effect with enhanced delay modulation. Vintage synthesizer textures abound and lift Off-World to an orbiting atmospheric soundscape.
• ETHERDUST: a glitch shimmer effect where the delay time is randomized, creating stutters ranging from short granular sparkles to distinct glitch echoes.

Managing your sound is both intuitive and potent, thanks to a streamlined control layout that hides advanced secondary functions beneath the surface. You can balance your wet and dry signals using the BLEND knob, while TONE allows you to shape the overall brightness of your effect. The TIME control dictates decay length, and cranking it to the maximum setting provides infinite reverb. With the VOICE knob, you can morph between the crispness of a clean plate reverb, the familiarity of classic shimmer, and the airy character of string-like effects to pinpoint your ideal ambience. You can cycle through the three modes using the SCENE button, which also activates secondary parameters like delay time, reverb mix, and modulation rate and depth when held down. For instant, pad-like textures, simply press and hold the footswitch to engage infinite reverb at any moment. Step into another dimension of sound with the EHX Pico Shimmer.
